has this problem already came up if so I missed it a link would be nice to fix my phone Thanks
I could be misunderstanding your problem here but I think i had a similar issue... first of all make sure you're holding down the power button long enough to boot up. Seems to take 4 or 5 seconds with this phone.
Also when I had the issue i took out the bat, put it back, plugged into a wall charger and then held the power button that worked. But I think really my issue was impatience not holding the power button the first time long enough.
no i am the screen wont say updating or whatever when i hold the up and down button but it looks for a driver ?? and installs the Right driver
helpppppppppp your way to the search button.
Thread moved to proper forum.
You only hold volume down and power. I had the same issue. Holding both volumes will cause the phone to not boot.

So you flashed the recovery before you rooted. Try reflashing the original recovery. I don't know if that will work. You should have rooted then flashed recovery.

thats what im doing now but gewt stuck at waiting for bootloader to int for some reason
Well your g2x will never go out of the updating screen you have to wait until one click says it has transfered the file. Wait a minute or so after that and unplug the USB and put your battery back in the I would do a master rest.

thing is my lg screen is black can i still root with a black screen ? like i said only action i get out of the g2x is if i hold the vol up And Down and plug it in then i hear the sound of the computer finding it witch gives me hope
I would try recovering recovery befor trying to root again. I would do the nvflash but pick the original recovery instead of cm. Then after that master reset by original recovery which is hold power and down volume. Recovery will rest your rom. Rooting puts you root permissions I believe into a different partition any ways that's how a master reset does not wipe them. Your problem sounds like more of a recovery issue then root.

It is problem is it stays at Waiting for Bootloader int how long should that be there?
are you holding the volume buttons down and plunging in the usb before you select the version? you have to continue holding them the whole time. should pick it up in matter of seconds.

Hi,
My Inspire is now stuck in a cm7 bootloop after I messed up flasing cm7 to it, and I can't boot into recovery now. I take out the battery and restart it with power + vol- down, but it just loads back into the bootloop and there is no way for me to access any recoveries or the main screen. Is there any way I can completely reset my phone from my computer? It seems like that is my last resort now, so if that is possible I would be completely willing to start over from the beginning with rooting and flashing. Any help is appreciated.
Also, my volume rocker has not been working for the past few hours, and I have no idea if it was broken originally (I doubt that) or if it was broken after a bad root or something. This is the main reason I need to reset it from my computer.
Also, my phone is not being recognized by my computer when I plug it in. The more I think about it the more I realize that I'm probably screwed, so any advice to the contrary would make me love you forever.
try with the power cord attached, holding the volume up,power on until the red led starts flashing, then remove the battery put the battery back in, press the power button. for me this got it into recovery. good luck
Thanks for the help, but it didn't work. At this point I'm just looking for a way to reset it from my computer and start completely over. I don't care about any data or apps I had on there, and I don't even care about the root I had. If anyone knows ANY way to reset my phone back to factory settings (or if AT&T does this) please tell me.
If you vant get your computer to recognize your phone then you cant restore.
Some att stores can do it, but remember you have voided your warranty.
What recovery version are you using? If its an older version then you can plug the phone in while it is off, and it will boot into recovery.
How long have pulled the battery for?

Recovery is volume DOWN plus power for 5 seconds, bootloader its volume up plus power...
Try putting CM7 or any other ROM on your SD card via your computer, using a card reader. Then boot into recovery (volume down plus power), wipe data/cache/Davlik, then install from zip. That should get you up and running.

Well I have a problem. My SNS's power button broke as if its getting pressed down all the time (powers on when i put in battery). Anyway I thought it might be a software problem so i was going to install a CM9 rom just seeing what that would do. I load up ClockworkMod via rom manager and use the search button instead of the broken power button and do a complete wipe of eveything. Once i was done and was going to install CM9 Clockworkmod said something like "search button disabled" so i couldn't select anything. Anyway I thought if I Remove the batttery and put it back in would be a good idea and then load up Clockworkmod and flash CM9.... but it wasnt. I forgot my power button is broken so i cant do anything at the Fastboot screen, I cant even use the Volume Buttons. So my next choice was use the Android SDK and hopefully flash a rom with adb. Sadly that wont work becuase my coputer will not recognise my phone at all. so im stumped on a phone stuck on either google screen or a frozen fastboot. Any ideas?

The button isnt stuck. Its broken. It still clicks when i press it down but the phone recognises it as always pressed down. And taking it apart is pretty darn complicated because I need to take the screen off aswell.
Hey guys, while trying to flash CM7, I forgot to wipe all data and my phone gets stuck on the booting screen. So when I try to get into recovery mode, it doesn't go to ClockWorkMod's Recovery, but the default one. The problem is that the power button does not work, so I cannot make any selections to wipe data or anything. Only the volume buttons work.
Please help, I'm a total noob and I just got this phone fixed after dropping it not too long ago!
It does work i freaked out on this as well. Go to your selection and hold the power button until it selects your selection
Its takes a few seconds holding the power button to register. Not sure if it's a bug or just the way it was built to prevent mis-selections

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately holding it down isn't helping so far. I've held it for 60 seconds with no luck.
Then use odin to install a new rom is all i can say.

Does it say button disabled?
Try hard reboot volume up and power button. And of that don't work it's probably hardware related. Maybe a bad button

Does anything happen when you press the power button?
Thanks guys, I was thinking I might have to do the nvflash method. The power button was working fine previously and it turns the phone on. Got to work then drink tonight but I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. Happy New Year!
Thanks guys! The NVFlash method worked and my phone is back working again!

Try this first:
Plug the phone in for charging. Hold volume up and camera while powering on to get to the bootloader. After you get to be bootloader press and release the power button to shut the phone off. It should stay powered off while it continues charging. But watch it to make sure it doesn't try to autoboot after a while.
If not/alternatively:
Take off the back cover of the phone. Start charging and keep an eye on the screen. It will charge without booting for something like 10-15min. When it starts to boot, yank out the battery and then put it back. Repeat for 1-2 hours.
Or you can maybe try combining these: and use rubber bands to hold the volume up and camera buttons down so that when it auto-powers-on it will go to the bootloader and you can just press the power button if that happens.
I used to suffer this problem a lot. I ended up getting an external battery charger (you can find them for pretty cheap). Strongly recommended.

it did help in charging the battery but the system won't started, it keeps on restarted after the starhub logo (singapore set)..
OK, so first try to get to open recovery (press and hold volume-up while booting from power off state). From openrecovery make a nandroid backup, factory reset, and try a reboot.
If you can't get into open recovery you can try stock recovery (I can't remember the process off the top of my head)
Do you have ext partition on your SD card?
The last resort is to flash back to stock using a sbf using RSS lite/sbf_flash.

it didn't work..i've read some articles about it this problem..all i need is update.zip that compatible with xt720 can anyone please help???
I don't think there are any update.zip that work -- the milestone xt720 recovery never had that vulnerability (unless you've flashed the xt720mod.sbf). And as far as I know all updates for XT720 have gone via Motorola's usb software updater program (not ota update.zip) so I don't think there are any correctly signed full system updates sitting around anywhere.
I think you're going to have to flash a stock sbf using RSD lite (windows) or sbf_flash (Linux, macos)
the device can't be detected by computer in it's current state so i can't flash it
Make sure you download moto usb drivers.
Hold down power button, volume button, camera button at the same time bootloader will come up.
Startup rsd lite plug into usb your phone should be recognize.
If not reconnect if this doest work reinstall rsd lite.

i can only get to bootloader and the android recovery 2e that's it or else it will restart until all the power have drain
If your computer doesn't recognize your phone try a different computer.
Also try plugin and uplugin and plugging again.
Also try hardreset and remove sdcard.

My power button suddenly stop responding. I can tell cause when I'm using volume wake, everything's working fine. The problem is I can't proceed to recovery considering the power button is the only way to activate it. Am I wrong? Is there another way? Wanna restore to a previous ROM backup, just to be sure I didn't hit a wall with my current ROM. Any thoughts guys? Wanna be sure before I have my phone opened up.
Edit: I forgot to mention, I also used fastboot to reboot my phone but it says my phone is offline. Which led me to believe there is more to it than a hardware issue on my phone.

Update: I finally restored my backup using ROM manager and finally get into recovery using the search button as an altrenate for the power button. It looks like my power button is really broken. Will be using volume wake atm. My only concern now is how to get my phone online at fastboot. :-/
You can go to fastboot or recovery using some apps, like one called for CWM Manager. Or even use a command line in ADB.
You can't get fastboot because when the power button breaks it's like if the power button was stuck to ON. That glitches fastboot and you can't scroll to select recovery or anything of the sort.
Oh, thats is true. :/
Can your device power on ? If so use "adb reboot recovery"

Sorry for the late reply guys. I just had my power button replaced, was so busy crack-flashing when 4.2.2 arrived that I failed to come back and thank you all for all your inputs. Appreciate it! Now my only problem is that my phone won't go online using ADB. Well as long as I could go into recovery within the phone using my power button.. I'll concern myself with that in the future. Thanks again guys!

Try flashing a factory image in fastboot. It might clear out some issues..maybe relock and unlock bootloader too after backing up your data if there is time for this operation .
I do it from time to time.
